Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 kg corned beef (3.3lbs)
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Directions:

  1. Place corned beef into oven bag.
  2. Add all ingredients & then tie knot in bag (or with string etc).
  3. Shake to mix.
  4. Place bag with meat fat side up in a microwave container which is large enough to fit (this is for safety reasons as liquid will be extremely hot when done).
  5. Pierce bag a couple of times to allow steam to escape.
  6. Microwave on HIGH for 10 Minutes.
  7. Then reduce to a simmer & cook for 20 minutes per 500grams (1.1lbs).(power level 6 on my microwave).
  8. Allow to stand for 30 Minutes.
  9. Slice and serve hot.
  10. (Leave any left over portions in liquid until serving so the meat does not dry out.).
  11. Note:- It is possible to make this in a large enough microwave bowl without the bag. The bowl must have a lid with holes and the liquid must cover the meat entirely ie. double the recipe.
